If you can drive a big enough stake into their hip pocket you can make them hurt enough to get the reforms you are looking for. Carter and his cronies dont give a ripe red rat's ass about peace and justice but after they feel the sting of a huge financial hit, they will change their attitude.</font></div>

<div>And how is that going to happen, Wayne? Any financial settlement resulting from a civil lawsuit will come out of the pockets of We the Taxpayers. Steve Carter isn't gonna feel a damned thing. You've apparently never had a career where you were able to count on a virtually unlimited supply of Other People's Money.</div>

<div><br></div>Jennifer and interested others,
<div> Just a reminder that of the difference between a civil suit and a criminal suit. </div>
<div>What Norbitz (and Finney) did or did not do is relevant to "wrongful death," but it only results in money to those who bring the suit, not to punishment of anyone. That would require a revised finding by the States Attorney who has already declared it an "accident," not involving "negligence." Or a higher authority than the county, bringing some person(s) to court on criminal charges. That is my latest understanding at least and I am happy to be corrected, if that is not accurate.</div>
<div> However, we are not just "waiting." There has been much research and work on the public policies that inform this entire situation of the "police culture." Stay tuned or come to the Champaign City Council (Tuesday nights) and the Human Relations Commission (evening of MAy 3). </div>
<div>Come to the CUCPJ forum on Thursday, MAy 6, at the IMC. More on that soon. </div>
